Grumpy Beginnings

Get me out of here!" I screamed at my best friend Aris.

"Oh come on, have a little fun, Hannah," she tried to reason.

"No way, you tricked me!"

Let me explain. I was currently in the girls' bathroom screaming at my best friend to get me out of there. We were going to go to the mall but when we got there she 'accidentally' ran into a guy and tried to set us up. She then left me there with no way to walk home since it was freezing outside. It was the third date she had set me up on that week! She had this crazy thought that I needed a boyfriend to be happy. I was perfectly fine being single but she didn't seem to understand that. "Han, look, you haven't had a serious relationship since, well you know, since Leo."

"Look, Ari, I don't want a boyfriend. I want to meet the one, you know."

"Well, going on these dates will help you find the one. Please, I think you'll like this guy."

"Ugh, fine, but only because I really don't want to argue with you right now, we would be here for hours."

Her deafening high pitch squeal echoed through the bathroom. "You will not regret it."

"I'm not so sure about that."

I hung up and took a deep breath. Here we go. I opened the door to the bathroom and saw my 'date' sitting at a table. He wasn't that bad-looking. He had rich gold hair. He was dressed nicely.

I sat down at the table and he just looked at me weird. "Is everything okay? You were in the bathroom for a while."

"Oh, yeah, I'm all good, couldn't be better." I feigned excitement.

"Good." He just sat there.

"So, uh, what do you like to do?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Watch television." He picked up his phone and didn't look at me.

Awkward. "Uh, what kind of tv?" This guy is so annoying. He wasn't even answering me.

"What can I get you guys?" The waiter asked, looking at my so-called date.

"Actually, I have to, uh, get going, family emergency." I got up from my chair and my date didn't even seem to notice.

Looks like I'm walking home. I felt the cold air rush past my bare skin. Chills ran up my spine. I should have brought a coat. It's too cold for this. I sighed, my breath visible in the frosty air. My phone started ringing. It's Aris. I pressed accept and lifted the phone to my ear.

"How's the date?" She questioned me.

I grumbled. "Just great."

"Uh-oh, what happened?"

"Well, I am currently walking in the freezing cold because you stranded me here and my so-called date wouldn't even pay attention to me or talk to me. He just kept looking at his phone!"

"Aw, I'm so sorry sweetie. I'll come pick you up, find someplace to stay warm, and send me your location."

"Fine, but only 'cause it's cold."

She hung up and I tried to find a place to go. There was a gas station to my left but I didn't want to just stand in there. I looked to my right and there was a little cafe. I started to walk over. I opened the door of the cafe and the warm air surrounded me. I sent Aris my location and she said she was on her way. "How many?" The lady at the front asked me.

"Just one," I told her with a friendly smile.

She showed me to a table and I immediately recognized someone. Two seats in front of me was Tina, the worst girl in the school. She was the queen bee, head cheerleader, and most popular girl in school. I absolutely hated her, she made fun of everybody. She acted like she owned the school, and everybody was her slave.
